Hi Thomas and Nautilus developers, I'm using the extra-pane mode all the time as well and removing this feature will be a major regression to me. Extra pane is very useful as a copy/move target (Edit -> Copy to -> Other pane). I doubt this will this work with side-by-side windows. Hope there is a way to keep this feature at least in some advanced mode.
